My girlfriend brought me to the Polish grocery store. I like it, because they have a lot of European products, breads, sausages, jams, red cabbage, etc.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these little candies. My grandmother always had these in Italy when I would visit her. While their size is small, they give good flavor for quite a while. It’s amazing really.
It made me think of the size of an American candy, See the peppermint one I had for comparison.
I wonder who came up with the idea for such a small candy and such cute wrapping too. How about the production process for wrapping each one. They really are the perfect size.
Let’s ponder that this weekend!

When I lived in larger cities I loved to visit little grocery stores like that, for various countries. I’m enjoying your blog. Is there a name I may call you? I feel rude when I don’t address people by name. LOL I guess that’s silly… Hugs.

Everything in America is always big. Bigger is not always better. I like pretty candies in nice wrappers too.

We have a few Polish grocery stores in Sligo, and I occasionally stop by them as they have a wonderfl variety of sweets and snacks. I find that trying international foods is an excellent way to explore new cultures and traditions, even if you are not travelling. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

We enjoyed a traditional Polish meal for Xmas in July. The chef also shared stories from Poland as well as xmas traditions. He sent us all home with a bag of Polish sweets. It was a wonderful learning experience.

I remember seeing these small candies and I think they were fruit filled as I recall. We used to get them at a produce market that had treats from around the world. They went into the candy dish that sat on the coffee table but were “for show”. 🙂 My boss had a friend who owned a cheese shop at Eastern Market in Detroit. That store had a lot of German treats and after the holidays, he’d stop by the office with all the goodies he couldn’t sell even after marking them down. They were always a bit overpriced to begin with. I remember nougat-type chocolates, but also the chocolate tree ornaments that had foil wrappers with strings to hang them from your Christmas tree. Also, the wonderful ginger cookies, “puffy” but not soft, but not hard like gingerbread cookies we eat here in the U.S.

You sparked a memory of similar (or maybe the same) candies my grandparents always kept in a covered glass dish when we visited their house. I distinctly remember the wrapped pineapples and as Linda says, they were filled with a flavored gel. Our supermarket has a small section for “International Foods” and it’s fun to spend a few minutes looking at the products. As another commenter here says, an opportunity to explore new tastes and cultures.

Now I want to try those Polish candies, but of course we don’t have them.

I’m sure Phoenix does, but not up where we live. I’ll explore and maybe I’ll be surprised.

There is no more pleasant way to experience another culture than by the sweets they might be known for. Those look mighty appetizing!
